DECORATION DAY.
The Soldiers Dream.


i dreamed last night OF the bloody fray,
or the battles noise and din;
OF field where the dead and wounded lay
While the gath ring gloom Of the closing day
Drew curtain round the blue and gray,
And tenderly shut them in.
/ dreamed of havoc by shot and shell,
And the fash Of cruel STEEL
And around me fast the brave ones fell
Who rushed TO the very jaws OF hell,
And like a sea in its surge and swell,
Met the lannon's deadly peal.
Not only dream was it, but more
memory lived again
An echo sad Of the pillows roar
On the sea of death, from whose dread shore,
With spirit and body bruised and sore,
] rose on the wings Of pain.
Over the track OF a score Of years
backward glance to-day,
While moistening a comrades grave with tears
And dreaming OF all the doubts and fears
That life in its brightest aspect wears
For the pilgrim on life's way.
And looking back have cause for Joy
In this golden age Of peace;
I'm glad to have been a soldier boy
And glad that the hosts in sins employ
Gould not our glorious land destroy,
But for slavery brought release.
Go scatter their graves with flowers to-day,
All over this land of ours,
And drop a tear for the blue and gray;
And every year on the last Of May,
A worthy tribute OF honor pay,
With garlands Of fairest flowers.

Discovery of Some Valuable Remains OF an
Extinct Race.

Discovery of Some Valuable Remains OF an
Extinct Race.
The island of Newfoundland, lying
in the Gulf of st. Lawrence, off the
coast of Labrador, and belonging to
England since 1858, was once inhabited
by q race of aborigines, who have,
however, become extinct ages ago.
These have been known by the names
of Bethuks, or Beothies, and were I'M
doubtedly red Indians, like the aborig-
ines of the adjoining continent. Unfor-
tunately, but few remains of this
ancient people have been found. Some
of these remain in the hands of private
collectors, and we remainder are said
to be deposited in the Newfoundland
Museum. These include a skull and
skeleton; some arrow-heads, axes and
other implements-all of stone. And
so the matter rested until some curious
discoveries were recently made on
Pilley's Island, Notre Dame Bay.
Here several graves were carefully
opened, one of which was found to con-
tain the skull of an adult in an excel
lent state of preservation. This eX-
hibits all the peculiar characteristics Of
the skull of a savage; but for all that,
the skull is so well shaped that it is diff.
ficult to suppose that the Bethuks were
of very low type of humanity; but
decidedly the contrary opinion would
be more readily formed, taking the in
telligent contour of the head as evil
dence. In another grave was found a
second skeleton, which is nearly per.
feet, with the exception of few small
bones. This skeleton from the size il
apparently that of person not arrived
at maturity. The body was doubled
together, wrapped in birch-bark, and
laid on its side, and then covered with
stones so at to form a cairn. Subse,
quently, the body was examin
ed, and when the birch-bark was remov,
ed, was found to be perfectly preserved
almost as much as that of mummy
These appear to have been the only
relics of humanity that have been dis
covered of this ancient tribe; but many
specimens of beautifully-fnished stone
arrow-heads, stone hatchets or axes
and many articles-made from birch
bark-which look like drinking-vessels

AT Wayne Junction.

AU way uO JuuULlUus
The four Of US were put off at
Wayne Junction the other day to
wait for the train ON the Flint and
Perre Marquette road-tWO women
and two men. None of us were ac-
quainted, and we had an hour and a
half to wait at railroad crossing.
There was dreary looking wait
ing room, 12x12, and there was a
platform sixty feet long by eight
broad. The scenery consisted Of
One water tank.
Ten freight cars.
Two fields.
Five telegraph poles.
One pile of lumber,
AS the train left us | saw the two
women closely surveying each other
from hat to shoes. Each seemed to
regard the other with suspicion and
distrust. They entered the waiting
room and sat down, getting as far
from each other as possible. The one
dressed in brown seemed to be saying
to herself:
GOOD lands but what taste that
woman has. Who ever saw anyone
mix such color5 together before? If
she is going to the lunatic asylum she
should have an attendant along.
Such persons are dangerous"
And the one dressed in blue SEEM
ed to be saying to herself:
"HaVe l got to wait here an hour
and half in the company of that
thing? Such hat Such a cloak {!
What big feet! She must be some
one going out so work in creamery,
and | DOUBT if she knows what coun.
try she is in"
My friend, the man, was a fat,
mild-eyed specimen of the human
race. We stood for a moment and
looked at each other. l might have
said to myself:
"Well, if l haven't just run across
a bank-sneak and highway roober
then l don't know grindstone when
| see it. Wonder when he got out of
prison? Seems to have an innocent
look. but that is all put on. No doubt
he got off the train thinking to rob
me of my four dollars and return tick
ct to Detroit, but I've spotted his lit
tie game and will be prepared for any
move"
And he might have mused:
"Oh-ho! So here is Billy the Kid

had hand in the abduction of Char
lie Ross Probably Gut on another
child-stealing expedition. but Pm on
to his game and will spoil il. My,
but hasn't he got hardened look
That fellow would tear an innocent
babe from dying mothers arms and
dash its brains out against the family
churn without one ray of pity"
But neither of us thought any such
thing. Even before the women got
seated we threw our grips down to-
gether and he said
"Old boy, do you smoke ?"
"Yes, thanks"
"Well, here's something 1 can rec
comend. Which way are you GO

"Good! Pm there myself. Live

"Yes. Do you ?"
"Yes. your phis looks familiar to
